Where Were You...

In the midst of a break up with GF at the time, packing and moving. Got a call from my sister and brother in law, who asked me to use my contacts to check passenger manifests. Just before AA shut their system down, I got the confirmation that their business partner was indeed onboard Flight 11. It was an awful, eerie period of my life as four people close to me were lost that day.
Wow, doc. Never knew...

I was on a roof of a house I was working on in Milton with my helper Anthony. We were listening to Howard Stern, it was a picture perfect day. One of those days that the air, temp and mood was perfect for exterior painting. When Howard announced the first hit I thought it was a sick joke.....then it sounded serious and yelled to Anthony to change the station to WBZ....listened for a bit more then went up to the local bar and watched the horror. We returned to the job, packed up and left.
I will never forget 9/11 or the days right after.
